I Have a Safari Park

On the weekend, Liu Xueqing's house!

At this moment, Liu Xueqing and Yingying moved a chair outside the balcony and sat, observing the situation inside through the glass door.

I didn't go to the zoo this weekend, I just stayed at home watching turtle doves.

It has been half a month since the little turtledove was born.

During this time, the turtledove parents fly around every day, looking for food and returning to feed them.

When I was born, my eyes were not opened. Now he can stand up, jump out of the flowerpot, stretch his wings, comb his feathers, kick his legs and jump, and perform activities on the flower stand on the balcony. Liu Xueqing is surprised by the speed of growth.

The last two days seem to be different!

Daddy Turtledove was not standing on the balcony railing as usual after feeding.

Instead, she flapped her wings and flew from Liu Xueqing's balcony to an air conditioner diagonally opposite.

It's about 4-5 meters away!

Looking at this side, he opened his mouth and called out twice, as if to let the little turtledove learn to fly over.

The two little turtledoves have been combing their wings all day long for the past two days, as if preparing for flight.

A little turtledove looked at the turtledove's father on the air conditioner, stood up slightly, walked around, raised his feet and jumped twice, as if preparing for activities.

Moved out of the flower pot little by little, jumped onto the shelf on the balcony, slightly spread its wings, glanced outside, retracted it, turned around and jumped back into the flower pot.

Her body shrunk into a ball, looking a little uneasy, looking at the turtledove mother standing next to the flower pot!

One was more timid, glanced at the air conditioner on the opposite side, and was so frightened that it shrank directly under the mother turtledove's belly, burying its head deeply, it seemed that only by sticking to her mother's warm fluff could she feel a little bit safe. sense.

Mama Turtledove glanced at it and did nothing else.

Staying here so peacefully is the comfort and encouragement to the little turtle dove.

Liu Xueqing was also very nervous, her palms were sweating, her house was on the 7th floor!

Looking at this posture, the little turtledove has now begun to learn to fly. If it doesn't fly and fall from such a high place, it will not die directly.

The little turtledove shrank for a while, and then got out from under the mother turtledove's stomach.

Daddy Turtledove will also fly back from the opposite side! He opened his mouth and screamed twice.

It seems to say that flying is actually very simple, you see how I flew over and flew back!

The mother turtledove also stood up, jumped on the railing, spread her wings and patted twice, looking at the little turtledoves, as if to demonstrate and guide them to fly.

Learning to fly is the first step in your bird life! You can fly now. You have to overcome the fear in your heart. If you don't learn to fly, you can't grow up.

Two large turtledoves took turns, jumping up and down between the balcony railings and the flower pots.

Looking at this scene, Yingying understood something and asked, "Mama, is the little turtle dove going to fly?"

Liu Xueqing said: "Well, it should be!"

"Oh!"

Yingying watched it with relish, not at all worried about the little turtle dove.

Isn't flying a natural thing for birds?

Turtledove's father flew over to the air conditioner on the opposite side, and demonstrated several times in a row!

In the middle, three large turtledoves flew over and landed on the flower stand on the balcony to watch the small turtledoves. It seemed that relatives such as their uncles and aunts came to visit.

I heard that the child is about to learn to fly. Come and have a look. You didn't bring any gifts. You are welcome.

After waiting for a long time, Yingying took out her toy and played on the ground.

Liu Xueqing also went back to the room and glanced at it while eating.

The little turtledove stayed in the nest at night and did not fly over. But tonight the turtledove's parents were away, so they were left alone in the flowerpot, usually with at least one large turtledove by the side.

It seems to be trying to cultivate the independence of children.

the next morning.

Liu Xueqing was thinking about the little turtledoves. When she woke up at 7 o'clock, she saw that they were still in the flower pot.

Then Father Turtledove spread his wings on the railing again and showed the little ones how to fly.

After breakfast, He Yingying continued to move a stool to observe.

After the inner struggle of the repeated test flight yesterday, and without the company of his parents, the little turtledove stayed in the nest for a night, and seemed to have grown a lot. Today, he boldly stood directly on the railing.

The turtledove's father called out twice, turned his head to look at the little turtledove, very good, come with me!

When flapping its wings and flying towards the air conditioner diagonally opposite, a little turtledove took the lead in spreading its wings and jumping from the balcony!

Liu Xueqing's eyes widened immediately, her body subconsciously stood up, and her eyes closely followed the little turtle dove!

The little turtledove flapped its wings and flew over after his father!

The other, who was less timid, saw his brothers flying away, for fear that he would be left behind, so he plucked up his courage and flew over.

They all landed smoothly on the opposite air conditioner.

"Mama, the little turtledove can fly!"

Yingying jumped off the chair happily, opened the glass door, and ran to the railing.

"Wow~"

Liu Xueqing also breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and followed to the balcony.

Looking at the Turtledove family opposite, a sincere smile appeared on his face!

I don't know why, but I was very moved.

Suddenly I remembered that when the little turtledove took off, I was so absorbed in it that I forgot to take a picture.

I quickly took two pictures of them, and posted the pictures to the circle of friends: "Haha, my little turtledove can fly! It's great!"

Turtledove's father was not satisfied with this, and flew to the windowsill of a family in front of him.

Called twice, as if calling for the little turtledove to follow.

However, after the two little guys just flew once, all their courage has been used up.

They leaned against each other on the air conditioner and huddled into two balls, refusing to follow.

The balcony of Liu Xueqing's house allows them to jump around. The air conditioner outside the wall is small, like a rock protruding from a steep cliff. It is very scary to stay here.

Turtledove's father flew back and lowered his head, as if to encourage and praise the two little guys.

It flew down, and flew back after a while, opened its mouth, fed the little turtledoves, and continued to fly around, guiding them to fly.

A little turtledove seemed to be moving a little, but it stood up, took a bath of shit, and fell down again.

Tonight, the two little turtledoves stayed on the opposite side of the air conditioner without their parents to accompany them, looking pitiful.

The next morning, Liu Xueqing habitually came to the balcony.

Looking at the air conditioner on the opposite side, I found that the little turtledove was no longer on it, leaving only a few traces of bird droppings.

"Did he fall, or did he fly away with his parents?"

Liu Xueqing's thoughts were spinning in her mind.

Just thinking about it, I saw two little guys in their flower pots, huddled together and looked at her obediently.

It turned out to be flying back.

Compared to the cramped air conditioner, the place where I grew up felt safer.

It may be necessary to stay here for a while, and then fly away when the flying skills are proficient.
